+      The license classifier can analyze text to determine what type of license
+      it contains. It searches for license texts in a file and compares them to
+      an archive of known licenses. These files could be, e.g., LICENSE files
+      with a single or multiple licenses in it, or source code files with the
+      license text in a comment.
